Our aim was to produce a truly inspiring and uplifting documentary. Makers shows the passion and commitment of a generation of new and existing filmmakers as they share their experiences working in a challenging industry. The documentary gives a rare insight into the work of the indie filmmakers who exist outside of the Hollywood studio syndicates, whose films are watched by millions of people all around the world. It tells the stories of new independent filmmakers trying to make it in the industry as well as the die hard, long suffering filmmakers and businesses that support the industry.

This is an inspirational outlook on the independent film industry that is uplifting and yet doesn’t come without a heed of warning. You can see the energy, passion and commitment of these creative people who are making films no matter what the cost. They are easy to identify with, whether you are a filmmaker or not and seem to share a common set of values and beliefs that are potentially a lesson to us all. The message is clear – there is hope, if you have the determination and desire, the belief and a little bit of luck, maybe, you can make it in the industry. Are these people brave, commendable or delusional?
